Democrats introduce the 'MAR-A-LAGO Act'

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Yes, the "MAR-A-LAGO Act."

The legislation would require the publication of White House visitor logs, something that was done regularly by the Obama administration but has since ended since President Trump took office. It would also mandate the release of visitor logs at other locations where the president conducts business -- for example, Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida resort that he has recently called the Southern White House.

Introduced by Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Tom Carper of Delaware and Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois, it comes after the president spent five weekends in Mar-a-Lago since his inauguration.

1. Good!

[chillfactor]

2. LOVE Udall!

He is my senator (NM)

[Warpy]

7. I do, too

Really happy to vote him in and keep him there as long as he wants the job.

[eleny]

3. I'd also like it to include provisions for sending him a bill

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Good idea! I support both!

5. If he calls it the Southern White House then he is saying it is used for business.

Therefore it should be treated like a business.

6. The twisted beauty of Trump is how his own arrogance will be his bane

9. If Democratic Senators can introduce legislation (that will never be voted on) for Mara-Lago logs,

then they should also introduce legislation to implement Medicaid for all and raising Social Security benefits for seniors.

They should also introduce legislation to repeal the legislation that Sen Marco Rubio passed to sabotage Obamacare two years ago - make sure that America knows WHY there are some counties in America in which there is only ONE insurance provider who can no longer afford to provide services to that county!

11. All this!

10. Limiting taxpayer funding for the weekly golf game that costs us $3 million EVERY TIME wouldn't hurt

either.

[SticksnStones]

14. Agreed A golf budget doesn't sound unreasonable

Repubs often speak of running America like families run a household or owners run a business.

While I don't agree with the analogy, let's hold them to their words and set a budget for the president's recreational activities...like households do.

Companies set travel budgets for their employees...let's set a limit for the presidency!

[Squinch]

15. And let's set it at twice what Obama spent, an amount that sent Republicans into seizures

and which Trump has already exceeded, though they don't seem bothered by that.

[SticksnStones]

16. I can only hope those Americans who voted for Trump

Because they thought they were protecting their own pocketbooks are watching and learning and will remember the hypocrisy come 2018 ~

[Squinch]

18. Occasionally I wade into right wing sources to see what the other side is saying. There is not even

the littlest mention of this in any of them.

[SticksnStones]

19. If that doesn't sum up the strength of their convictions

And the veracity of their rhetoric... Well, I don't know what would ~

Best way to see what republicanism is really all about is to see what happens when they get the keys...and to then witness the silent acceptance of their base.

Quite telling ~

You're brave to go looking...makes my blood boil too quickly to wade over there.

12. a quarterly disclosure of travel expenses for current WH protectees would be

in line. It's OUR money. It's our house. We are paying for it and we are entitled to know how much we are spending.

[AgadorSparticus]

13. Good!! Just outrageous that it had to be created in the first place

[Gothmog]

17. The Dems have a sense of humor
